Method for Obtaining and Analysing the Physico-Mechanical Properties of Wood-Plastic Boards

In this paper, we consider a method for producing wood-plastic composites (WPC) based on urea-formaldehyde resins (UFR) and investigate their physical and mechanical properties. The composition and technology of production of a wood-polymer composite, including the preparation of raw materials, mixing of components, molding and curing, are given. Methods for estimating density, flexural strength, water absorption, and resistance to external influences are described. The influence of various parameters on the properties of the obtained material is analysed. The results of the study make it possible to optimize the manufacturing technology of WPC with improved characteristics for use in the construction and furniture industries.
